I'm definitely in disbelief, but this is incredible, and an absolute honour. No organization had more influence on my baseball career than
@baseballcanada

@elliottbaseball

Trevor Bauer was not cleared of wrongdoing. He was not "set up" or "kicked out" of Major League Baseball. A court found that Bauer engaged in acts with an unconscious person. The law does not recognize an unconscious person’s advance consent to rape.

So in the first round of the Midwest League home run derby we got to watch Vladimir Guerrero Jr. hit bombs for three minutes. Early leader.

I’m 35 today (big yikes!), and what a doozy of a year 34 was. I left baseball (or so I thought), I started law school, I ran another marathon, I paid off my car, and I gained a real opportunity to advocate for the change I want to see and the change I want to be a part of.

I love baseball, the game. But baseball, the industry, I've found difficult of late. The responses to racism and sexism are not enough, people are commodified, public labour disputes, the decimation of the minor leagues, literally everything Kevin Mather said. It's all bad.

After we both spoke at a
@PitchTalks
event a couple years ago, I told Zaun that I was offended by his comments, the way he viewed and talked about women in the industry, and on and on. This certainly isn’t something that hasn’t been raised before.
Zaun says this in one breath: "In the past, when brought to my attention that I demonstrated poor judgement or language and gave offence, I sought to change my behaviour and apologize for any hurt caused.”
Then, he says, last week’s complaints were "never raised before."

Ryan Dempster: “I remember when I first showed up at spring training and all the guys were like, ‘Wow, you’re from Canada?! What’s that like?’ And I said, ‘Well, it’s different. There’s the pause in the middle of the game for the polar bears to run through.’”

I'm not completely leaving yet, either. But more on that later. The big news for now is that I'm headed to law school in the fall. I'll be 34 when I start and hopefully 37 when I finish, but I want to be the change I hope to see in the world, and that's how I aim to do it.

Fellas, sports ain’t going away ever. Start learning that women absolutely love them and play them incredibly well or find a way to accept the fact that ladies do not exist to conform to your lifestyle and do not need to like everything you like. Best of luck being the latter.
